lunchtime or in the evening to provide members with interesting information on the current events and upcoming

trends.

Those with a particular interest in wine and fine dining will be spoiled by our monthly wine programme. Vintners

latest offerings. Additionally, members are invited to exclusive tours of Ontario wineries a number of times through-

Truly unique to our club, is our relationship with Toronto’s music organisations. We are very proud of our Artists-In-

Residence, the New Orford String Quartet, and are regularly treated to sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes access,

of upcoming performances. Singers and musicians of all genres, from classical to jazz, regularly perform at the Club

and provide members with an opportunity to interact with the performers as well as to enjoy their music.

Our Heritage, Our Future.

The University Club has been part of the Toronto social scene since before the First World War. Its origins date back

to 1906 when a group of recent graduates from the University of Toronto decided that the existing gentlemen’s

clubs of the day were too staid for their tastes and they decided to create a club of their own.

As the Club thrived and expanded, it has occupied a number of sites in the centre of Toronto, eventually moving to

its current location on University Avenue in 1929. The magnificent club house was designed by the architects

Mathers and Haldenby and was built by the firm of Jackson – Lewis, the principals of both firms being Club

members. It is generally regarded as one of Canada’s finest neo-classical buildings.

Over the years the Club has acquired an outstanding collection of paintings and drawings by respected Canadian

artists. These are on display throughout the club house. Among the collection is at least one original painting by

each member of the extended Group of Seven. Many contemporaries of the Group are also represented.

Today, the Club remains a vibrant part of the Toronto scene. Its members, both male and female, are drawn from a

broad range of backgrounds representing the business community, the professions and academe. They have access

to a varied programme of music and theatrical events, wine tastings, topical speakers and much more. The Club has

a fully equipped fitness facility and overnight accommodation for members and guests. In addition, the Club is

affiliated with over 300 clubs in Canada and abroad that available to members when they are travelling.

The club is a place where connections are forged; relationships are built and friendships are made. It is warm and

welcoming; collegial and engaging and we invite you to come and share our heritage, and be a part our future.
